chookrat 4,268 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 So apparently Izzy Folau has had a falling out eith Rugby Australia and won't be donning the green and gold for the world cup. World class, professional athlete who has played the game with some success (GWS) and could bring him on as a category B rookie, so won't cost much. Sure he has some pretty strange beliefs such as everyone going to hell and that it's ok to keep slaves so pong as they are foreign, but these minor 'quirks' may even help galvanise the playing group. Thoughts? 3 3 Quote

Leoncelli_36 2,264 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Really? Let’s get Nick Kyrgios while we are at it! 1 Quote
chookrat 4,268 Posted August 16, 2019 Author Posted August 16, 2019 I understand the apprehension but were not going to improve by doing same, same so lets try something out of the box. Izzy is too good to be lost to sport forever. Quote

Demon Dude 430 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 I think I read somewhere that statistically Folau was the worst player to have ever played the game. not sure that sort of talent will help us much. 1 1 Quote
gs77 4,616 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 So as an approx. 23yo he managed all of 13 games over 2 seasons in the embryonic GWS (i.e. while they were [censored]), and now you want to bring him in as a 3yo - an age where players are in decline? 1 Quote
Ethan Tremblay 31,393 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Underrated OP, very good @chookrat very good. 1 Quote
Bitter but optimistic 22,289 Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 Yes on the proviso that his missus comes with him. She'd be a handy pick up for the shiella's side. 1 Quote
Cards13 9,117 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 So apparently he’s had a falling out..... Hahahahaha Gold chook!!!! 1 1 Quote
DemonHauntedWorld 49 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I'm guessing he wouldn't play for a team called 'the demons'. He's that sort of nutty. The saints on the other hand... 1 Quote
KingDingAling 3,758 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 We need good players. Folau isnt a good player. It would be pointless. Not sure the AFL could handle such a strong personality either. 1 Quote

McQueen 17,867 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Get that other ex NRL playing K Hunt while we’re at it. Everything should be on the table, or mirror, or whatever. 2 1 Quote
John Crow Batty 8,893 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) We would have to change our name from The Demons to The Evangelicals and the theme song to the tune of ‘Praise the lord and pass the ammunition’ and tithe him 10% of all club revenue plus match payments and expenses before he would consider us.

Little Goffy 14,976 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Israel Folau would look at the Melbourne Football Club now and for half a century, and immediately be inspired to quote scripture; I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. - Deuteronomy 5:9 But I doubt there's any real danger of attracting Folau, we just can't fit the necessary shekels under the salary cap. 1 Quote
